[comp.sys.ibm.pc] vt200 emulator

david@banzai.PCC.COM (David Beutel) (09/13/89)

Hey!  It's stupid question time!

I'm looking for a vt200 emulator for a PC or AT.  The details 
about function keys and status lines are indeed important.
A wyse85 emulator would be fine instead.

I thought Procom could handle vt200, but from what I've heard, it can't.
The software doesn't have to be PD or SW, but I'd swear there was
some SW program that could do vt200.

	Coefficient (611 Broadway NY NY 10012 - (212) 777-6707) _sells_
a product called VTERM/220 that I'm pretty sure does all that you want, and
then some.  VTERM/220 also supports background file transfer using a number
of protocols.  You can call them for a demo diskette that has _all_ of the 
capabilities of VTERM/220, however, it canonly be run for about 5 minutes at
a time.  If cost is an issue though, as it was for me, you might like to 
know that VTERM/220 costs somewhere around $200.  I'm not positive about the
price so call/write them for info.
